Well I have moved away from considering myself an Age of the Empires novice. So the gamming app may have had a problem passing information to the osx version of the game. The only thing I can think of is that the gamming service program (the IRC app) was being run in classic and the Age of the Empires II game was actually running in osx. When the host machine tried to launch the game, nothing happened again.
So I had one game and two machines on the same LAN in the room. After the game was announced, I logged into it with my another machine on my network. Then I tried to create a game using the host computer on the gamming service - which name still escapes me. Both machines responded correctly all the way up to and through the game. I took two of my machines on my LAN and tried to play a multi-player game NOT using the online gamming service. I am on a mac, and using the same version of the game everyone else was using, but none of the machines on my network would automatically join games.įrustrated, I tried a few other things out. Okay ready? yup we were all ready, and then at the launch of the game Age of the Empires crashed. We were at the screen where the host machine (mine) could change map size, etc.
This time we actually all got to the point where we were making game settings. I told them to connect manually, if they were not taken to the game automatically. I was ready to combat the auto-launch flaw by giving the room my ip address. They all said they got a message saying "waiting for host" until I aborted the game.įiguring it was a firewall issue, I decided to do it on my host machine. Everyone was asking why I aborted the game. I aborted the game and found myself back in the chat room.
AGE OF EMPIRES 2 FOR MAC FULL
I waited a goot 3 full minutes, and nothing happened. Since Age of the Empires II takes up the entire screen, I was unaware of the activity in the chat room I launched the game from. I tried to open up a multi-player game, but no one was joining. Age of the Empires II movies started up as normal, then I was brought to the opening screen where you can make game selections. so we had a few problems.Īfter clicking "start game" my screen went blank and the game began to load. The crowd I had was new to the game like me.
I had this option becuase I set up the game. The IRC room where the people collected had a button called "start game" for me to click when I was ready to start hosting the event. I collected a few people and tryed to create a game. It was 10pm and I hadn't even played my first game yet. I had no luck waiting for a game, so I decided to host my own. So after the update, I tryed to get a game going.
AGE OF EMPIRES 2 FOR MAC UPDATE
In doing so, I found that I had to update my version of Age of the Empires II. You can then chat with other people and setup a game. Anyway, you click on the button and it takes you to an IRC interface. There is an online community of which the name escapes me, prpbably from lack of sleep. I was very happy with everything except the online gamming experience that I had. Well I was up to 2am playing Age of the Empires II last night.
